I had to take multiple rounds of antibiotics more than 10 ,following a GI infection- giardia, histolytica, Hpylori. I also took 6 weeks of Itraconazole for Tinea cruris infection in the butt. Now last week due to possible food contamination took CIPLOX TZ (500 mg Ciprofloxacin+600 mg Tinidazole). I feel some kind of stuff in throat, white tongue on the back and white stuff in the back of tongue with red patches. Is it a fungal (candida) infection? No fever, diarrhoea, vomiting. Just abnormal feeling in the throat. How likely is the possibility to have fungal Candida overgrowth after Ciprofloxacin? Please help.

Very less percentile. Fungal infection or Ring worm. When occurs in groin, called as jock itch. Usually fungal infection is common in moist areas of body like skin folds. It's mostly circular or round in appearance. May be red or black in colour. Treatment depending on the type and severity. Avoid sharing clothes, towels and soap; sweating also increases it. As it has to be differentiated from eczema and infection, its a must to see and confirm the diagnosis for proper treatment. So, please send photos of the affected area by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
